ADRIAN HOUSER NEWS

Returning to rotation Thursday Houser (elbow) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Thursday's game against the Marlins, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact Houser needed just a couple weeks of rest to recover from the elbow swelling that sent him to the IL on Aug. 28. The 30-year-old right-hander carries a 4.58 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 77:28 K:BB in 90.1 innings this season with the Brewers.

Resumes mound work Houser (elbow) threw a bullpen session Sunday without issue, MLB.com reports.

Impact Houser landed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 28 due to swelling in his right elbow, but he appears on track to be activated when first eligible Sept. 12. The 30-year-old has registered a 4.58 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 77:28 K:BB in 90.1 innings (17 starts, two relief appearances) when healthy this season for the Brewers.

Hope for short IL stint Manager Craig Counsell, via Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, indicated "the hope is Houser (elbow) will miss a couple starts then be ready to rejoin the rotation."

Impact Houser landed on the injured list earlier Monday, so he will miss a couple starts regardless. However, it looks like he may only be facing the minimum stay on the injured list. The Brewers have not announced who will replace Houser in the rotation, but according to the report, they are expected to add a fifth pitcher rather than lean on Thursday's off day and make it through the next turn with only four starters.

Hits IL with elbow effusion The Brewers placed Houser on the 15-day injured list Monday with right elbow effusion.

Impact When Houser exited after two innings in his start during Sunday's win over the Padres, the Brewers relayed that the 30-year-old was dealing with "minor" right forearm tightness. Follow-up tests revealed that he was actually experiencing fluid buildup in his elbow, and a trip to the injured list was deemed necessary. Bryse Wilson ended up covering four scoreless innings behind Houser on Sunday and could be a candidate to step in as the Brewers' new No. 5 starter, though it's conceivable that manager Craig Counsell opts for a four-man rotation this week thanks to a well-timed off day Thursday.

Suffers forearm injury in start Houser was removed after two innings in his start in Sunday's game against the Padres due to an injury the Brewers have labeled as "minor right forearm tightness," Adam McCalvy of...

Impact Though even "minor" forearm injuries have a tendency to send pitchers to the 15-day injured list, the Brewers will likely wait and see if Houser feels well enough to throw a bullpen session over the next few days before determining if he'll be able to make his next turn through the rotation, which would likely fall next weekend versus the Phillies. Houser had reached five innings in each of his last four starts while pitching to a 3.80 ERA and 1.13 WHIP before his early exit Sunday.

AUGUST 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Fans seven in win Houser (5-4) yielded one run on six hits and a walk over five innings Sunday, striking out seven and earning a win against the Rangers.

Impact The lone blemish on Houser's line was a solo shot by Corey Seager in the third inning. Houser had allowed eight runs across 10.1 frames in his previous two outings. He lowered his season ERA to 4.28 with a 75:27 K:BB through 88.1 innings. His next outing is projected to be at home against the Padres.

AUGUST 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Takes fourth loss Houser (4-4) allowed four runs (three earned) on five hits and struck out six without walking a batter over 5.1 innings, taking the loss Tuesday versus the Dodgers.

Impact The Brewers were economical with their limited offense against Bobby Miller and Ryan Yarbrough, but Houser's sixth-inning fade took them out of the game. Houser has allowed at least three runs in five of his last six outings, and he hasn't gone more than six innings in any of them. The 30-year-old right-hander is now at a 4.43 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 68:26 K:BB through 83.1 innings over 17 appearances (15 starts) this season. He's lined up for a challenging road start at Texas this weekend.

AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Allows four runs in no-decision Houser did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing four runs on five hits and one walk over five innings against Colorado. He struck out five.

Impact Houser got off to a solid start, needing only 16 pitches to get through the first two innings. Things unraveled for him in the fourth, however, beginning with a leadoff home run from Jurickson Profar and ending with a two-run single from Harold Castro before the right-hander was finally able to escape the inning. It was only Houser's fourth time this season in which he allowed at least four runs, though two of those occurrences have come over his last three starts. On a positive note, he's now recorded at least five strikeouts in four of his last five outings.

Picks up fourth win Houser (4-3) earned the win Thursday, allowing a run on four hits and two walks over six innings against Pittsburgh. He struck out five.

Impact Houser allowed a lone run in the first inning before blanking the Pirates over his final five frames. The Brewers' offense would provide more than enough run support in a 14-1 victory. It was n impressive bounce-back effort from Houser after he allowed six runs over four innings in his last outing against Atlanta. The 30-year-old right-hander lowered his ERA to 4.19 with a 1.52 WHIP and 57:25 K:BB across 13 starts (73 innings) this season. Houser's currently in line to face the Rockies at home in his next start.

Falls to earth Friday Houser (3-3) took the loss Friday, coughing up six runs on eight hits and two walks over four-plus innings as the Brewers were downed 10-7 by Atlanta. He struck out three.

Impact After tying his career high by fanning 10 batters in his last outing, Houser crashed back to earth against the offense that leads the majors in homers and OPS, getting tagged for at least six runs for the first time since May 30. The right-hander got the hook after 90 pitches (55 strikes), and since the beginning of June he's posted a 4.64 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 35:16 K:BB through 42.2 innings. Houser remains a streaming option at best in most fantasy formats, but he could be worth deploying in his next start, likely to come on the road next week against the Nationals.

Ties career high with 10 Ks Houser allowed three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out 10 batters over six innings in a no-decision against Atlanta on Saturday.

Impact Houser's punchout total came out of nowhere -- prior to Saturday, he hadn't struck out more than five batters in any game this season and had posted an overall 6.2 K/9. The right-hander had also completed six innings just three times over 12 starts, so his performance against one of the league's top offenses was at least mildly surprising. Still, Houser has been pitching fairly well recently -- over his past four appearances, he's posted a 3.57 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 24:8 K:BB over 22.2 frames.

JULY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Solid in no-decision Houser did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks over 5.2 innings against the Reds. He struck out five.

Impact Though Jake Fraley tagged Houser for a two-run homer in the third inning, Houser managed to put together a decent showing Sunday, tying his season high in strikeouts and lasting at least five innings for a third straight start. Though Houser owns a 3.79 ERA through 57 innings, his lack of strikeouts (6.2 K/9) and inability to go deep into games (six or more innings pitched three times in 10 starts) make him difficult to trust in most formats.

JULY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Maneuvers through five frames Houser allowed one run on six hits and three walks while striking out four batters over five innings in a no-decision against the Cubs on Wednesday.

Impact To get through five frames, Houser needed 104 pitches and threw only 60 of them for a strike, but the veteran still allowed just one run to score. The right-hander didn't retire the side in order in any inning, though a key part of his success was preventing the Cubs from notching any extra-base hits. Since his return to the rotation June 29, Houser has allowed just three runs over 11 frames, but he's yielded 13 hits and four walks during that span. He's pitched well enough to justify Milwaukee's decision to include him in a six-man rotation, though that could change when Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) is ready return from the injured list.

Gets another start Houser is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Cubs at American Family Field.

Impact Houser will pick up another start while the Brewers seemingly plan to maintain a six-man rotation heading into the All-Star break. After spending just under two weeks in the bullpen, Houser re-entered the rotation last Thursday and delivered a quality start in a win over the Mets, striking out five over six innings while yielding two runs on seven hits and one walk.

JULY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Triumphant in return to rotation Houser (3-2) earned the win over the Mets on Thursday, allowing two runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out five batters over six innings.

Impact Houser's previous two outings came out of the bullpen, but he was inserted back into the starting rotation to face New York. The right-hander gave up back-to-back solo homers to Brett Baty and Brandon Nimmo in the third inning, but those were the only runs he allowed in the contest. Houser was far from dominant -- he recorded only one 1-2-3 inning and notched just seven swinging strikes -- but the end result was a victory in a matchup versus future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer. It's uncertain what Milwaukee's long-term plan is for Houser, as his move back into a starting role was precipitated by a 17-day, 17-game stretch for the club leading into the All-Star break.

Will start Thursday Houser will return to the Brewers' starting rotation Thursday against the Mets, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Impact Houser had been working out of the bullpen over the last couple of weeks, but the Brewers don't have any days off leading into the All-Star break and will give him another shot in a starting role. The 30-year-old right-hander has pitched to a 4.02 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 25:13 K:BB in 40.1 innings (seven starts, two relief appearances) this season.

JUNE 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Relegated to bullpen Houser will work out of the Brewers' bullpen going forward, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Impact With Wade Miley (lat) set to return from the injured list Saturday, Houser will move to the Brewers' bullpen to serve in a multi-inning relief role. Houser has allowed 13 runs (12 earned) across 15.1 innings over his last three starts.

JUNE 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tagged with five runs Houser (2-2) allowed five runs on six hits and four walks over four-plus innings Friday, striking out four and taking a loss against Oakland.

Impact The Athletics jumped on Houser early Friday, putting three runs on the board in the first inning followed by another in the second and fifth frames. He's coughed up 12 earned runs over his last three starts, spiking his ERA from 2.25 to 4.33 in the process. Houser also owns a lackluster 23:11 K:BB through 35.1 frames. He's currently projected to face the Pirates at home next week.

JUNE 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Excellent in win Houser (2-1) earned the win Sunday, allowing a run on six hits over 7 innings against the Reds. He struck out two.

Impact Houser has held opponents to one run or fewer in three of his last four outings. He blanked Cincinnati for six innings Sunday, allowing a lone run on Jake Fraley's solo home run in the seventh. Houser's ERA is down to 3.45 with a 1.44 WHIP and 19:7 K:BB across six starts (31.1 innings). The 30-year-old right-hander is currently lined up for a solid matchup with the A's at home in his next outing.

Ambushed by Blue Jays Houser (1-1) took the loss Tuesday, coughing up seven runs (six earned) on 11 hits and three walks over 4.1 innings as the Brewers fell 7-2 to the Blue Jays. He struck out three.

Impact The right-hander got tagged for four runs in the first inning before he'd even gotten a second out, and Milwaukee never recovered. Houser walked multiple batters for the first time in five starts, and he'll take a 4.07 ERA and 17:7 K:BB through 24.1 innings into his next outing, likely to come this weekend in Cincinnati.
